Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has brushed off concerns about the party's performance in rural areas after a new poll showed just 4% of farmers intend to vote for them.

The Irish Examiner survey showed 38% of farmers support Fine Gael; 19% back Fianna Fail; and 12% support Independents.

No respondents said they would support Labour if an election was held tomorrow - while 4% said they'd vote for Sinn Féin.

Gerry Adams isn't concerned by the poll numbers.
